I SAVED MY DAISY FROM BEING TAKEN TO A KILL SHELTER. SHE WAS VERY SMALL AND VERY SHY BUT WITHIN 2 OR 3 DAYS SHE WAS ACTING LIKE SHE HAD ALWAYS BEEN WITH US. SHE HAD A VERY LOUD BARK AND COULD SMELL EVERYTHING. SHE WAS FINE ONE DAY THEN SHE WAS UNABLE TO WALK ON HER BACK LEGS THE NEXT. I TOOK HER TO THE VET BECAUSE SHE JUST BECAME WORSE AND THEY DID XRAYS AND FOUND DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE. THREE OF HER VERTEBRA HAD COLLAPSED INTO HER SPINE AND IT HAD PARALYZED HER. SHE WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN AND COULD NOT LAY DOWN TO SLEEP. AFTER A VERY LONG, TEARFUL WEEKEND OF LETTING HER HAVE ANYTHING SHE WANTED TO EAT, WE HAD TO HAVE HER PUT DOWN. MY HEART IS STILL BROKEN. SHE IS BURIED ON THE HILL AT THE BACK OF MY HOUSE. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU MY DAISY MAE.
